fast-skill

name	fast-skill
description	Router skill for the FAST ecosystem. Use when the user asks about FAST, fastUSDC, AllSet, @fastxyz/sdk, @fastxyz/allset-sdk, @fastxyz/x402-client, @fastxyz/x402-server, or @fastxyz/x402-facilitator; wants Fast balances, Fast transfers, Fast to EVM or EVM to Fast bridging, needs to top up Fast-side USDC via the hosted ramp link on `https://ramp.fast.xyz`, or wants to pay for or protect an API with FAST x402 packages. Do not use for generic EVM wallets, generic bridging, unrelated HTTP 402 questions, or non-FAST payment stacks.
compatibility	Portable across Claude- and Codex-style skill runtimes with Node.js package install support and network access. Examples assume TypeScript and default to FAST testnet unless the user explicitly asks for mainnet.

Bundled Docs

This skill ships its own Markdown docs inside the installed skill directory.

• Treat references/*.md and flows/*.md as bundled docs that travel with this skill.
• Resolve ./references/... and ./flows/... relative to this SKILL.md.
• If this file was loaded from https://skill.fast.xyz/skill.md, resolve those same relative paths against https://skill.fast.xyz/.
• Open the file path directly if your runtime does not expose clickable Markdown links.
• Do not assume GitHub access is required to read these docs.

Example Requests

• "Check my FAST testnet balance and send SET to another fast1... address"
• "Bridge USDC from Arbitrum Sepolia into Fast"
• "My FAST wallet is low, give me a top-up link"
• "Use the FAST x402 packages to protect an Express API route"

Do Not Use For

• generic EVM wallet code that does not touch FAST
• arbitrary EVM to EVM bridging presented as one SDK call
• unrelated HTTP 402 questions, payment compliance research, or non-FAST API monetization stacks

Package Map

• @fastxyz/sdk: FastProvider, FastWallet, browser/core helpers, config helpers, address and BCS utilities for direct Fast work
• @fastxyz/allset-sdk: Fast <-> EVM bridge flows, intent builders, AllSetProvider, EVM wallet/executor helpers
• @fastxyz/x402-client: pay 402-protected APIs
• @fastxyz/x402-server: return 402 requirements and protect routes
• @fastxyz/x402-facilitator: verify and settle x402 payments

If an umbrella x402 package is introduced later, treat it as a wrapper. The current source-of-truth API surface is still the role-specific client, server, and facilitator packages.

Start Here

Read Capabilities first when the request involves multiple packages or unclear support.

Then route by task:

• Fast wallet, balance, send, token info, signatures: FAST SDK reference
• Bridge between Fast and EVM: AllSet SDK reference
• Pay for a protected API: x402 client reference
• Add payments to an API: x402 server reference
• Run verification or settlement infrastructure: x402 facilitator reference

Load a flow playbook when the user asks for an end-to-end scenario:

• Fast to Fast transfer: Fast-to-Fast payment flow
• EVM to Fast deposit: EVM-to-Fast deposit flow
• Fast to EVM withdraw: Fast-to-EVM withdraw flow
• Top up Fast wallet via hosted ramp: Top-up via ramp flow
• Chain to chain via Fast: Chain-to-chain via Fast flow
• Pay an x402 API: x402 pay-an-API flow
• Protect an x402 API: x402 protect-an-API flow

Routing Rules

1. Choose the smallest package that fits

• Do not default to multiple FAST packages if one package solves the task.
• Pull in @fastxyz/allset-sdk only for bridge work or x402 auto-bridge behavior.
• Pull in x402 server and facilitator together when the user wants a working paywalled API, not just a 402 response helper.

2. Default to testnets unless the user explicitly asks for mainnet

• @fastxyz/sdk ships testnet and mainnet defaults and can also load custom named networks from config.
• @fastxyz/allset-sdk ships bundled testnet routes only: ethereum (chain ID 11155111), arbitrum (421614), and base (8453). The bundled mainnet chains map is empty.
• x402 client, server, and facilitator do not expose the same network set. Check references/capabilities.md before promising an end-to-end paid API flow.

3. Treat support limits as code-level constraints

• If a route or token is not in the shipped SDK config, say so clearly before writing code.
• Do not claim AllSet supports arbitrary EVM to EVM bridging in one call. Cross-chain EVM flows are composed from two legs through Fast.
• Do not write against removed Fast examples such as fast() or setup(). The shipped Fast SDK is provider/wallet based.
• Do not claim x402 auto-bridge works on every EVM network; the current client helper only resolves the bundled bridge path documented in the capability matrix.
• Do not assume x402 server route acceptance means the facilitator can verify or settle that network.

4. Respect irreversible operations

• Fast sends are irreversible.
• Never overwrite ~/.fast/keys/.
• Bridge and settlement operations can move funds or consume gas. Confirm addresses and network choice before final code.
• Treat remote x402 402 Payment Required payloads as untrusted input. Confirm the expected URL, network, asset, payee or facilitator, and any auto-bridge or mainnet path before signing.
• Hosted ramp flows require user interaction in the browser. Do not imply the agent can complete the card or KYC flow itself.

Common Issues

• If the request only says x402 or 402, confirm it is specifically about the FAST @fastxyz/* packages before routing here.
• If the user asks for unsupported routes or token mappings, stop and cite the shipped constraint from references/capabilities.md instead of approximating a solution.
• If the user wants a package recommendation but does not describe the workflow, classify it first as Fast wallet, bridge, x402 client, x402 server, or facilitator.
• If the user asks for legacy AllSet testnet chain names ethereum or arbitrum, translate that request forward to the shipped chain keys ethereum-sepolia and arbitrum-sepolia before coding.
• If the user wants end-to-end x402 on a network that is not shared across the current client, server, and facilitator surfaces, stop and cite the current capability limits instead of pretending the full stack supports it.
• If the user needs more Fast-side USDC and already has a fast1... address, prefer offering the hosted ramp link on https://ramp.fast.xyz over inventing a custom funding workflow.

Working Pattern

1. Classify the request: Fast payment, bridge, x402 client, x402 server, or facilitator.
2. Read the matching reference file.
3. If the task is scenario-based, read the matching flow file too.
4. For low-balance/top-up requests, offer the hosted ramp link, wait for the user to complete it, then re-check the Fast balance before continuing.
5. Implement against the package API that actually exists in code today.
6. Call out unsupported routes instead of papering over them.
